At the bank, amusement park, or other line-providing locations...do you intentionally try to think of a song to pass the time?

Personally, I go with this little gem when waiting to get to my destination.

So OT, do you folks have a tune you have playing in your head in these instances?

When I am in line I try to estimate the time I will get served by taking into consideration the number or people ahead of me and the average time it takes someone to get to the booth or teller, etc., and the average time a person takes to complete their transaction. I do all these microcalculations in my head until it is my turn.

I'll either have headphones on and/or I'm being paranoid and scanning crowds, so no. I also start rocking back and forth whenever I'm inline for some reason. I can stand and not do it, but if I'm standing in line, I have to start doing it eventually.

People watching for me. Although I think the scene in "Full Monty" where hot stuff is on the radio when they are waiting in the cue is priceless.

I just about always have a song running though my mind. While useful when waiting in a line, it can be problematic at times.

If you dont ever wait in lines, it must be hard buying things or going on holiday from an Airport!

Give me tips on how you manage it, as I hate lines!

generally people watch, or people stare at me because i'm 6'10''....it's fun when you make eye contact with someone who is staring at you, they either look away the moment you look or have a staring contest

Nope... I just critisize people around me in my head. Too short... Ugh, ugly... Oh that *** is soooo fat... etc. Sometimes I try to figure out what animal does a person in front of me look like the most. You have to try it, it's fun.

P.S. I'm not evil.

Sometimes, but usually I end up idling like a servbot. I stay away from Wal Mart though, since 2 people in front of you will take 10 minutes, while at Kroger it may only take 5 at worst.

I tend to go through phases of thinking of one song for a while, then another. No system to it or anything, that's just how my head works I guess. Usually something with a good beat like "Shortest Straw" by Metallica.

Either that or I start judging the other people stood in the line.

I'm not in lines very often,

My mind just goes blank and my body enters in auto-walking mode

But this sounds like pretty much what I do when I am.

This song
often pops into my head when I'm doing stuff though, as far as thinking of songs goes.
